A substantial majority of voters who participated in the 2024 presidential election believe the US is heading the wrong direction, according to exit poll data.
About 70% of respondents believe the country is on the wrong track, according to the Fox News Voter Analysis, released in the final hours of voting Tuesday evening.
Other signs of frustrated voters picked up by the pollster include only 13% indicating that they or their family were “getting ahead” in the current economy, and 63% rating current economic conditions as “not so good” or “poor.”
A majority (56%) said their family’s financial situation was “holding steady” – but 31% said they and their loved ones were “falling behind.”
When Fox News asked voters to identify the most important issue facing the country, 39% said the economy or jobs, while 20% said immigration and just 11% said abortion.
